J. August Richards Makes his Directorial Debut with Suspense Thriller Privacy Policy … Exploring the Possibility of Invasion of Liberties, Post 9/11
J. August Richards captures audiences with a clever, contemporary approach to suspense in the thriller, Privacy Policy. He will present the nineteen-minute short film on Saturday, Feb. 10, at the Pan African Film & Arts
Festival (PAFF) - the largest African American film festival in the country.
Policy Synopsis: John Doe is receiving strange phone calls — always in the middle of the night, always around the same time. What’s even stranger is that the caller’s telephone number reads “private” on the caller-ID, despite John’s recent purchase of “Private Call Block.” He enlists the help of his friend Detective Barry; an undercover cop who discovers that the mysterious caller’s phone number belongs to no one. Ultimately, the consistent call time - 12:47 a.m. - will show John that in the technological age, nothing is private. Is John a victim of identity theft? Paranoia? Techno-stalking? Or is he the victim of a plot more sinister than he could possibly imagine?
“The films that inspired me to direct this project were Sixth Sense, Fight Club, and the French film Caché,” Richards says. “Caché inspired me the most. It’s like Caché meets the Sixth Sense meets Fight Club.”
Writer and director, J. August Richards, a graduate from the University of Southern California, is most noted for on his camera performances. He has worked steadily in film, television, and theater, accumulating over ten years of experience as a professional actor.
Richards’ acting credits include Dick Wolf’s NBC drama Conviction, the WB’s international hit Angel, the Warner Brothers film Why Do Fools Fall in Love, and The Temptations, where he portrays one of the original members of the 60’s singing group. He has guest starred on countless television series including The 4400, The Practice, The Cosby Show and Any Day Now, and has won critical praise for his stage performances in prestigious theaters around the country.
Audiences know Sharif Atkins, who plays John Doe, as Dr. Michael Gallant on the NBC mega-hit ER. Atkins has also starred in the NBC series Hawaii, UPN’s Eve, and the films Light It Up and Out of Exile. He is a graduate of Northwestern University.
Detective Barry is portrayed by Anson Mount, who has starred in many television series including NBC’s Conviction, WB’s The Mountain and ABC’s Line of Fire with guest appearances on Sex in the City, Lost, and Smallville. Mount’s film credits include All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, In Her Shoes, City by the Sea, Crossroads, and Boiler Room.
Privacy Policy was filmed in Los Angeles, CA in September 2006. Shot in HiDef, it has a running time of 19 minutes 57 seconds. The film was produced by actor La Monde Byrd (Supernatural, Mind of Mencia, The Shield and Strong Medicine).
Richards also appears in the film, Paved With Good Intentions, screening at the PAFF on Feb. 16, and Feb. 18. The screenings will be held at the AMC Magic Johnson Theatres in Los Angeles. For more information on dates and times visit www.paff.org.

Globe Traveling Young Australian Finds Freedom in Prosperity Automated Systems
traveling around the world — and all with no overhead, no staff and no boss while his business runs 24-hours a day.
Sound impossible?
Sean discovered what hundreds of others already have — the fast-growing Prosperity Automated Systems, an internet marketing phenomenon founded by Bill Osterhout 12 years ago.
PAS proved to be the perfect match for Bridger’s active and ambitious lifestyle.
"I have a huge interest in traveling," Bridger says. Although he is only 26, he has already spent over four and a half years working and traveling overseas and around Australia.
"I have run with the bulls in Spain, drank steins of beer in Munich for Oktoberfest, skied in France's three valleys, Canada's Big White, and traveled the US extensively, including seeing New Orleans before that tragic hurricane. I was even a camp counselor for two summers running, and had a load of fun doing it.
"I have been to Egypt and seen the Pyramids, sailed down the Nile and visited the tomb of Tutankhamen. I have relaxed on beaches in Greece, Thailand, Italy, Spain and even Denmark. I’ve worked on a tuna boat for a week, sailed around the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, climbed Uluru (Ayers Rock in central Australia) and drank the finest wine in the Barrossa Valley in South Australia."
Sean is also an athlete, having played Australian rules football and studied judo for 8 years. This five-time state judo champion says he has worked in offices before, as an accountant for Associated Newspapers in London, as a utility broker, and at Price Waterhouse Cooper, but those jobs never provided him with what he wanted.
A few other companies he worked for also failed to live up to his expectations — from a telecommunications company whose website was down every two weeks to a mail order business that became a waste of time and money.
"Licking envelopes, paying postage, it was a disaster," he recalls.
Then his father emailed him about Prosperity Automated Systems.
"I studied business marketing at college and had a little bit of sales experience in past jobs. I just found so many benefits with PAS being an internet business compared to a brick and mortar business. No overhead, no staff, no boss. All the while my business runs 24 hours a day and pays me up to $3000 every sale. It gives me freedom."
"If you can master the concept of driving traffic," Bridger says, "then you can master PAS and earn a huge income. I am a strong believer in building wealth and I would like to become a wealth coach in the future, to help people reach their financial goals."
But Sean sees PAS as more than just a way to make money. He sees it as something that can build relationships on a global scale. "That is the reason why I love PAS and the internet business. Someone on the other side of the world could just as well be in your hometown. It connects people together. My belief has always been that the world is out there to learn from. You will learn more by actually doing something than you ever will by reading about it in a book."
Sean also sees strong, mutually beneficial relationships as the key to financial success.
"I believe that if you can build a strong team then you are guaranteed success. I am a dedicated sponsor."
Through PAS, Sean sees his future opening up. "I have a plan that in six months time I will have three weeks on and one week off. That week may be to go traveling or to take my girlfriend away for a break, shopping, whatever."
He adds, "This life is for living, not working. I have a saying that life is just one big holiday, you just have to work out how to get more time off."

Singles-Space.com Launches Aggressive Campaign Against Russian Dating Fraud
Some scam artists would say there is no target more vulnerable than a person looking for love. Now that the Internet has become a more serious matchmaking option for many people, a new breed of hustlers has risen to meet the challenge. On Russian dating sites in particular, these hustlers have become a problem because of the nature of the relationships-most of the time, American men are being matched with Russian women, who tend to be more traditional and less financially stable, given Russian culture and the economy. The man searching for true love falls prey to a scammer pretending to be a poor, beautiful Russian woman who needs his help.
